Film Reviews by AB

One of those - "This is cool, wish I could do that" type of films - a bit like a limited-ability version of "Loopers"

What I found most annoying was Jamie Bell's diction - I couldn't make out what he was saying a lot of the time, lazy acting to my mind, which means poor Directing.

A bit too much (pointless) leaping about

Storyline been done so many times before and better and this was actually uninteresting, even though it must have been one of the first of that genre.

Storyline is not new, action shots neither, the outcome - very guessable.

But, this is one of those films that make you wonder - "what if this was me?".

Enjoyable without being trite.

A really pathetic film, lacking in laughs, acting ability or storyline. Whoever funded this must want their money back

Albeit great with a single actor carrying the plot and scenes, the story was a tad confusing until the end, and even then not great.

A bit over-hyped but in the end watchable

A depressing view on environmental vandalism, taught through folklore and cinematic anime from one of Japan's top studios

Plausible storyline taking in history of the partnership with real political and historical lines to aid everything. I liked the way that Redford was a renegade whilst actually operating within Langley, putting one across the bureaucrats and suits

I liked this - the story has been seen before a hundred times in westerns (and other genres) but the pulling together of the sub-plots was enjoyable. Life was tough in those days and corruption probably rife, but there must have been good guys like the main protagonists to help build a huge country from nothing.

Although the cars are impressive (even I, not being *into* cars, would like to drive some of them just to experience the sensations) the storyline is a tadge too predictable with the token (and nowadays, predictable) woman in a lead role, but who doesn't actually contribute much, and has contradictions (Vide the scene when the car is 'helped' by the helicopter, and she screams like a girl, when she is supposed to be unfazed by the power of the driving of powerful cars). Not a bad film, just not great

Pointless, storyless, incoherent drivel that only a psychologist, nay a psychiatrist, could fathom. A complete waste of time and effort to even put the DVD into a drive. Avoid like the plague

Some amusing moments that were funny, some just amusing, thankfully not many toe curling scenes. I think that the whole cast must have had a great time making this and some of the out takes must be very amusing, blue-blooded and X-rated! Oh to be an actor who gets to rub Jane Seymour's breasts in the interests of making a film! Grandma had some of the best lines in the film as well. If there are teenagers watching it, I don't really think that you could make a career out of this, but you would certainly enjoy yourself!

Ponderous, slow-moving, lacking in any sort of drama and even "the secret" is unbelievable, but well-hidden.

One for the psycho-babblers to enjoy and for 'arty' film buffs only

I had absolutely no idea what this film would be about but its name is one that always crops up in reviews, conversations and lists so I thought that I'd watch it - far better than I thought it would be.

The plot you can get elsewhere but it has a bit of farce in it, sex jokes, lost love, toe-curling embarrassment and the two scenes with the dog had me laughing like a drain. Enjoy it.

I found the film interesting, and set my my wandering - what if this situation occurred to myself or my wife, where memories had to be made each day?

Nice twists and turns in the film and I guessed wrongly!

Haven't read the books but this is "Lord of the Flies" meet "Cube". Too many open questions - before Teresa, why did no-one question why there were no girls, why not climb up the walls? Did the boys dream? If so, the same dream? Needed some intelligence in the script which was sadly lacking for a bunch of teenagers who would/should be asking a lot of questions and attempting to find answers. And what were the "Grievers" supposed to be? jailers? the bogey-man? Again, too many questions and too few answers. "The Cube" wasn't much better, despite both films having a great idea behind them, where viewers would actually want to be part of the whole setup as part of of "what if I ..."? premise
